THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON… 2
EPISODE 10
After slee-ping angrily the previous night, a
knock on my door woke me up which was
time for our morning prayers. We prayed for
so many things including safe arrival of our
Dad and safe dep@rture of Mirabel among
others. We did our morning chores, bath
then had breakfast. Mirabel’s b©dyguards
c@m£ and took her away, after saying her
goodbyes to all of us and also promised to
come around some other time.
I thought Nancy would be sad about
Mirabel’s dep@rture, but she seems to be
happy which got me wondering. School
resumes in one week time, But I would be
leaving in two or more weeks. After much
thought, I decided to go inside only to see
Momma and Nancy happy over what they
were checking out.
Me: What’s all this?
Nancy: Mirabel got all these for me and for
Mummy
I saw lot’s of dresses, bags, shoes and
jewelleries and an iPhone and an iPad. My
eyes bur-st open.
Me: When?!
**No response**
I saw Momma admiring the wra-ppers
Mirabel got her and Nancy using the iPhone
with her teeths out.
Me: Is it iPhone 6?
Nancy: Yes bro,,, she’s so awesome! this is
what i’ve been dreaming to have
Me: So Mummy got the ipad?
Nancy: Yes
Me: Wait, how did she say it?
Nancy: How do u mean?
Me: As in,,, she didn’t mention me?
Nancy: No, why? she didn’t leave anything
for u?
Me: Why would she leave anything for me,
am i not the one who should be taking care
of her? I only wanted to know if she
mentioned my name
Momma: Why?
Me: Huh? No, Nothing precisely
Momma: Hope u don’t expect goodies from
her?
Me: No I don’t,,, haba Mummy
Momma: See, I’m telling u today, don’t ask
for anything from that girl. By the Grace and
Mercy of God, your Father and I are here to
provide for u because it’s our responsibility
Okay?
Me: I know Mummy
Mummy: No let me talk,,, I have seen in the
movies how boys use rich girls to get what
they want and left them heart-broken, U
better behave yourself. I hope u will never
forget what happened to u when u toiled
with the daughter of a soldier not to
mention when u mess up with the daughter
of the Commander In-Chief of the Armed
f0rç£s
Me: I haven’t forgotten, thanks for always
reminding me (Pissed)
Momma: Yes, if by reminding u every now
and then will make u behave yourself,,, I
will never st©p upd@t!ngit into your br@in
Me: But Mummy trust the son u raised na
Nancy: (Laughs)
Me: And what’s funny to u?
Nancy: Uhmmm Mummy, we should be
going to the shop now oh…
Momma: Yes o my daughter,,, take these
things inside let’s go
Hhmmmmm….. I smell conspiracy.
**Later that day**
Dad arrived home, Momma had to close
early from the shop to welcome her
husband. He brou-ght lots of goodies,,,
that’s what i love about him. Before
Momma and Nancy c@m£, we had a little
chat.
Boss: So you’re ok now?
(Yea that’s what i call him)
Me: Yes sir
Boss: Good,,, go and get me water from the
Cway
Me: Ok sir
I rushed to the Cway, got the water, return
back to him and gave him the water. After
drinking, i collected the cu-p and took it
back to it’s position. He stood up, probably
going to his room. I heard the car horning at
the gate, I ran to open it for Momma for to
come in. She entertained her husband
before we left for Church by 7pm.
*********************
We returned back from the mid-week
service as we normally do every wednesday,
everyone went straight to their rooms to
drop their Bibles and also change dresses.
Lest i forget, Mirabel called earlier and the
following conversation ensued…
Me: sweetheart
Mirabel: Hi dear, I’m home now
Me: At the villa?
Mirabel: Yes of course
Hhmmmm Presidential villa don turn home
abi?
Me: Ok good, how was the little trip?
Mirabel: It was fine, except for the spoilt
road at some p@rts of the road
Me: Maybe your dad hasn’t come to that
p@rt yet
Mirabel: I dunno what the FCT Minister is
even doing in that office, imagine
Me: Don’t mind him (Not enjoying the
t©pic) So how is my heart doing?
Mirabel: Very well but kinda not feeling too
happy, Dad and Mom aren’t home. They
both went different places, Dad went to
Canada for a meeting or so and Mom went
to Uganda for African’s First Ladies
Conference, I’m feeling so lonely.
Me: Well, I’m not surprised for the
whereabouts of your parents, having a
whole Country on their shoulders is not an
easy task
Mirabel: I know… Just can’t wait for school
to resume lemme get away from here and
be with who will there for me at all times
Me: Really?
Mirabel: Yes ofcourse
Me: (smiling) And who is this person?
(tea-singly)
Mirabel: Who else? If not you my love
Me: Me too can’t wait to get u un-der my
arms again
Mirabel: Uhmmm…. that reminds me, when
will u be coming to the Villa?
Me: I’m not sure yet, But until my Dad
travels because Mum won’t be a problem
Mirabel: Okay, plea-se u will nee-d to bring
Nancy along
Me: What? why??
Mirabel: She wants to come here and i
promised her that she’ll come along with u
whenever you’re coming.
Me: But u never told me about this before
Mirabel: I know… plea-se baby do this for
me plea-seeeee…
Me: Yea but if only we’d have some privacy,
u know what i mean
Mirabel: What privacy? don’t tell me you’re
thinking of having s-x with me here?
Me: What? No! ofcourse not, come on,,, i
mean, why would i even think of doing
such? But…..
Mirabel: What?
Me: Never mind, it’s nothing
Mirabel: What is it? Tell me
Me: It’s nothing really
Mirabel: Alright so what’s up?
Me: Just missing u very much
Mirabel: Missing u too, plea-se try to inform
me on when u will be coming ok?
Me: Sure
Mirabel: And it should be very soon
Me: I will try, it solely depends on my Dad
Mirabel: Okay,,, U said he’s a chartered
accountant right?
Me: Yea
Mirabel: It’s a nice profession
Me: Yea
Mirabel: U know what? leave your Dad to
me, I just thought of something,,,, so don’t
worry, your Dad won’t be a problem,,, I shall
handle it
Well, base on how i watch Hollywood
movies, if someone says a person won’t be
a problem, the next thing that follows is
some kind of a problem or even death. I
hope that’s not the case here. Of course
not!
Me: What do u mean by my Dad won’t be a
problem?
Mirabel: Don’t u worry sweety, I will start
working on it right away
Me: Okay,,, hope its for good?
Mirabel: It could even be for better if not
the best, trust me dear
Me: That’s my baby,,, **Car horns** Got to
go babe, I think my Dad is back
Mirabel: Okay,,,, Love u… plea-se text me
his official mail and don’t forget
Me: Alright i will that, Love more byeeee….
**Hangs up**
***During Dinner***
Dad: Who owns the phone you’re holding
Nancy?
I raised my head up and saw her using the
new iPhone Mirabel got for her.

THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON … 2
EPISODE 11
If not for fact that i’m practically involved
in this matter, i wouldn’t even try to meddle
in the situation. If not for her stupidity,
why’d she be using the new phone during
dinning and in the pres£nce of Dad. Her
stupidity is becoming too much.
Nancy: Sir…?
Boss: Who….
Me: I gave it to her Daddy, it was given to
me by my friends who contributed money to
purchase it for me as my birthday pres£nt
Boss: Okay…
Mummy, Nancy and I looked ourselves in a
suspicious manner.
After dinner, we all as-sembled in the living
room pending 9:00pm where everyone can
be eligible to go inside. Nancy was also
there with us and not hiding at the dinning
table this time because of Dad, he had
seized her phone many times because of
excess usage. So, she won’t be able to chat
until past 9:00 when she’d escape to her
room.
Boss: Lemme see the phone Nancy
She went to unplug it from where she’s
been charging it and gave it to Dad
Boss: Which one is this one?
Nancy: It’s iPhone
Boss : It looks nice, so what will u do to the
blackberry?
Nancy: I will still be using it Dad, i have
another sim card that i nee-d to be using
Dad: This one looks expensive, how much is
it sold?
Nancy: Me i dunno oh…
Dad: Is there no receipt? or is it not a new
phone?
Me: It was only the phone and it’s charger
that was given to me
Boss: They should’ve given u receipt when
they gave u the phone
He gave the phone back to her and faced
the T.V
I alre-ady told mum to hid the iPad for the
main time till Dad isn’t around of which she
alre-ady did. For me, this is a disadvantage
of having a learned mother, she will surely
use the iPad instead of giving it to me.
She’s on bbm, facebook and on whatsapp.
My momma no dey gree oh…
I got a call from a friend, i went inside to
get it. After the call, I dialled Mirabel’s.
Mirabel: Hello
Me: Hey babe, how u doing tonite?
Mirabel: Am fine,,, wah bout u?
Me: Good… I forgot to thank u earlier for the
things u got for my Mum and my Sis, I
really appreciate it dear, thank u very much.
Mirabel: And you’re so welcome
Me: So how is it going?
Mirabel: I’m still adjusting,,,, wait, it seems
u haven’t seen what i got u or the small
piece of note i left u
Me: No i haven’t, u got me something?
(heart beating) where did u hide it?
Mirabel: Well, U will have to discover it
yourself,,,, it’s there in your house
(Smiling)
Me: So you’re not going to tell me?
Mirabel: Nah…..
Me: This is work na, it’s not fair oh
Mirabel: (Laughs) You’re on boo, do some
house research
Me: No problem, I won’t k!ssu when we
meet
Mirabel: Stamped!
Me: What do u mean by that?
Mirabel: I approve of it
Me: What? it’s a lie, things aren’t approved
that way, U will nee-d to ask if i am sure but
u didn’t asked,,, U just approved.
Mirabel: (Laughing) Okay, are u sure?
Me: Hell no!
We both bur-st into laughter
Me: plea-se babe, tell me what u did to our
videotape that was uploaded on YouTube
Mirabel: Alright ermmnm, its like this… are
u listening?
Me: Yea, loud and clear and even on record
Mirabel: Okay, it was my cousin living in
the U.S that informed me about the video
asking me if i knew anything about the
upload. He owned an ICT Company there
and he also do some special job for
YouTube and other big companies. After he
told me, i checked it out to confirm if it
was really me which was actually us, I
freaked out and immediately told him to do
something about it as the number of views
kept increasing. He said some people had
downloaded the videotape and others even
uploaded it to their website. He said he
could do something about it though. I gave
him the go ahead to rid of it. Then he
hacked into the into the server of every site
the videotape was uploaded to and got
every copy of the video down. He also used
the IP address of those that downloaded the
video to hack their system and deleted the
videotape.
Me: Woah,,, he must be a genius
Mirabel: Yea,,, that’s why he doesn’t come
home much because the white men wouldn’t
let him. He is well valued, he even married
a white girl there, we had to attend the
wedding from here.
Me: I will like to meet him one day
Mirabel: Sure,,, I told him about u alre-ady.
We un-derstood each other a lot. He also
brou-ght down everything that was tweeted
about the videotape on Twitter, Facebook
and Instagram with his connections.
Although, he spent lots of dollars to get it
all done.
Me: U guys must be close
Mirabel: Very close,,,, we were almost
inseparable when we were kids. Although he
is almost 5 years older than me. He started
in forth grade in the U.S and was stuck up
at the t©p throu-ghout his school. Always the
best in the clas-s, science fairs, he was even
the prom king while the prom queen was his
girlfriend who is now his wife.
Me: Woah,,, like a fairy-tale
Mirabel: Exactly what i told him about his
life. He is currently working on his
autobiogra-phy, to be launched probably in
two years time.
Me: It’s really going to sell a lot
Mirabel: Yea, but he said the proceeds will
be given to charity, both in Nigeria and in
the U.S and i think it’s a great idea.
Me: Yea yea, sure its a wonderful idea,,,
how old was he when he got married?
Mirabel: He was 23, he got married two
years ago on the 4th of July,,, I can still
remember that day vividly
Me: Sweetheart I’ve been waiting for u to
tell me his name
Mirabel: Sorry my love, his name is
Ikechukwu but he shortened it to Ike. Only
close family members knows him as
Ikechukwu
Me: He is igbo?
Mirabel: Yea, he’s Father is igbo,,, he
married my Aunt, my Dad’s younger sister
Me: Okay,,, i see
Mirabel: Yea, enough talking about my
cousin and let’s talk about us
Me: I like him
Mirabel: I can see that, but u don’t know
him
Me: I’ve heard a lot about him alre-ady, i
love his story which is like a fairy-tale and
he saved my a$$ from that videotape that
could be scandalous,,,, i really do like him a
lot alre-ady
Mirabel: Okay then, I shall let u have a
video chat with him on Skype when we get
to school
Me: That would be great dear
Mirabel: Yea, and could be annoying too
Me: How do u mean?
Mirabel: U are d@t!nghis favourite sister
Victor,,, be good is all i will tell u
Me: Now you’re scaring me
Mirabel: (Laughs) Don’t be scared, just
don’t break his sister’s heart,,,, he has
been very stubborn right from time. He
promised me that he will deal with any guy
so severely that will break my heart and
make me cry. I just hope it doesn’t come to
that ‘coz i know what he can do.
Me: I un-derstand, i will the same for my
sister. Excuse me love lemme bade my
Parents good night
Mirabel: Ok your Dad is back?
Me: Yea
Mirabel: Good for u unlike mine
Me: Well that’s for now, he might travel
again anytime soon
Mirabel: U have no idea
Me: What do mean?
Mirabel: U don’t worry, I’m working on
something and it’s pending as it is
Me: Hhmmmm… U and this your surprises u
don’t share with me
Mirabel: Relax dear, its for good or don’t u
trust me anymore?
Me: It’s really not about trust sweetheart,
it’s about sharing. U know, sharing of ideas,
problems, feelings and all that
Mirabel: Ok, yea that’s how it should be,
i’ve re-ad something like that before.
Hhmmm… U re-ad so much
Me: Thanks to my conversion that gave me
the chance
Mirabel: I see… uhmmm
Me: Be right back lemme greet my Parents
good night then we continue
Mirabel: Okay…
After hanging up, I rushed to the living
room. Dad was working with his computer
while momma was watching her 9pm
philli-ppians telenovela and Nancy has long
gone into her room. I bade them good night
then rushed back to my room and found my
phone ringing. I checked it but it was an
unknown caller.
Me: Hello
Caller: Hi Victor,,, long time No see
** It was a feminine voice**
Me: Yes i guess, sorry who’re u?
Caller: Even though u blocked my other line,
yet u dunno my voice?
I can only remember blocking Lola’s number
and the voice i was hearing sounded like
hers.
Me: It’d be good if u tell me who u are now
because i have something important to get
back to
Caller: By something important u mean
Mirabel?
**Of course its Lola, who else**
Me: Lola?
Caller: It’s me dear
Me: What do u want?
Lola: Awwww that’s so harsh, don’t be like
that. I bet u look cute on that face you’re
putting on right now
Me: Lola i ask again, what do u want?
Lola: Come on Victor, let’s talk, it’s been a
while
Me: Talk about what?
Lola: I know what Mirabel did, she told me
everything. How u freaked out and all that
Me: I know that made u happy, but it’s in
the past now, it’s all over
Lola: Are u sure about that?
Me: Of course, or u have something else to
say?
Lola: Not really
Me: Okay, i got to go now
Lola: It’s okay, i shall get back to u. Don’t
even think of blocking this line, because u
won’t enjoy the outcome of it
Me: What? (Laughed) are u threatening me?
what are u talking about?
Lola: I won’t say much buh, all i will say to
u this night is that,,,, what u think is over is
not yet started!
Me: What?
**She hanged up**
Me: Hellooo? Lola?!
I tried to call her back but it was switched
off. I really don’t get it, what was she
talking about? she seems to know what
she’s talking about and sure of herself. Oh
no i hate stuffs like this! I hate problems!!
Lola left me in a worried mood, I know she
could be dangerous from her desperation. I
wish this was a film trick. Maybe i should
start writing about my life, after all i’ve
always loved writing. I shall write about my
life because it looks like a movie.
I couldn’t speak with Mirabel that night
because of my current mood, so i texted her
to let her know that something c@m£ up.
Then i started thinking and imagining things
with my heart full of worries.
